Best Local Band: Covers

When it comes to bands that are sure-fire party starters, the Cronkites run that game — and they have since the mid-'90s. The band specializes in covers of music everybody can dance and sing along to: Huey Lewis and the News, the Doobie Brothers. The Cronkites can get every room jumping — from the smallest parties to the biggest casino rooms. There's a good reason why Inlander readers choose them as their favorite cover act from year to year.
